Town leaders are beginning to fret about Connecticut's budget problems, raising concerns that the deficit - now projected to balloon to more than $1 billion next year - could mean cuts in town aid that the state makes each year to Connecticut's 169 towns.
In a meeting Thursday of the Housatonic Valley Council of towns, municipal leaders learned that the measures being considered by Gov. Dannel P. Malloy to balance the budget could bring steep cuts in state municipal aid, according to the News Times of Danbury.
Most towns in Connecticut each get tens of millions in education and road funds from the state each year and town leaders for years have complained that cutbacks in that aid have already strained local budgets and have forced higher local property taxes. Any additional cuts would be devastating to local communities and could result in layoffs in local school systems, the News Times quoted local leaders as saying.
You want to know why people vote democrat i will tell you. Democrats vote for whoever is running as a democrat like loyal little puppets and they dont even know who the hell they are or what they even stand for. I know that because i used to be a loyal democrat puppet every bit as much as that girl was until i looked at what they were actually doing and i woke up and saw i was being played like a fiddle. So if that girl is reading this dont feel like everything looks bleak if your mother winds up being laid off because of the crushing budget cuts malloy is about to pass to make up for the democrats spending spree. Hey a least the royal bank of scotland in greenwich got a hundred million dollars in free money and tax breaks from the democrats you voted for.
If you think any of this will happen I have some very valuable swamp land for sale at a discounted price.
